Harvard Kennedy School Launches Rawabi Fellowship Program for Current and Emerging Leaders from Palestine

 Harvard Kennedy School announced today the creation of a fellowship program for current and emerging leaders from Palestine. Funded by Bashar Masri, a Palestinian business executive, the Rawabi Fellowship for Leaders from Palestine will provide tuition, health insurance, and stipends for Palestinian students in the School’s degree programs, as well as financial aid for Palestinian participants in the school’s executive education programs.
 “With its exceptional faculty and students, and its tremendous power to convene disparate groups and individuals, Harvard Kennedy School is uniquely qualified to educate Palestine’s future leaders,” Masri said. “It is critical that we support those who are, or will become, catalysts for positive change in Palestine, with the goal of moving toward a prosperous and peaceful future.”
